World Business ReportAvailable for over a year
About three million EU citizens living in the UK would be allowed to stay after Brexit, Theresa May has proposed. BBC reporter Adam Fleming tells us how the negotiations are progressing. Crude oil has lost a fifth of its value in just the past four months. We hear about the impact it is having on oil producing nations, from BBC reporters Martin Patience in Lagos, Nigeria, and Lerato Mbele in Luanda, Angola. Also in the programme, the mobile messaging service WhatsApp is becoming an increasingly important source of news worldwide, according to a survey of more than 70,000 people globally. Plus we hear how Hollywood actor George Clooney stands to make more than $300m from selling a tequila company he co-founded to the British drinks giant Diageo.
